02/15/16 - Human Landscapes of Canada - Canada is a massive country, with an area of more than 3.8 million square miles (10 million sq km), yet it has one of the lowest population densities in the world. Despite this, Canadians have made a wide impact on their land, much of it visible from aerial and satellite photography. Hydroelectric facilities, roads, mines, farms, ports, resource exploration, logging, canals, cities, and towns have altered much of the landscape over the years. Over the weekend, I took a virtual tour with Google Earth, and wanted to share some of these snapshots of Canada's human landscape.
